A recent urgent recall has been issued for a range of baked products in the United States due to potential life-threatening risks associated with undeclared allergens. New Grains Gluten Free Bakery recalled over a dozen items, including bread, bagels, cookies, and croutons, which could contain eggs, milk, and soy not listed on their labels.
The affected products contain varying combinations of these allergens, posing a significant danger to individuals with allergies. Some items, such as Artisan White Bread, Blueberry Bagels, and Cinnamon Raisin Bagels, were found to have undeclared eggs, while others like Artisan Seasoned Croutons and Seasoned Bread Crumbs contained both eggs and milk.
Moreover, certain products, including Chocolate Chip Cookie and Coconut Macaroon Cookie, were discovered to have undeclared eggs, milk, and soy. Despite being labeled as ‘gluten-free,’ these items were packaged in clear plastic bags and distributed in retail stores in Utah between April 7 and 21, bearing lot numbers 90–107.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice emphasizing the potential risks for individuals allergic to eggs, soy, or milk who consume these products. While no illnesses have been reported thus far, consumers are advised not to consume the recalled items and are encouraged to return them for a full refund.
New Grains Gluten Free Bakery, based in Utah, is dedicated to providing high-quality gluten-free products to its customers. The recent recall follows another incident where the FDA upgraded a recall for three bread types due to potential glass fragments on the food’s surface.
For further information or inquiries, consumers are urged to contact New Grains Gluten Free Bakery directly. The company’s commitment to delivering healthy and delicious gluten-free options underscores the importance of food safety and allergen awareness in the industry.
This recall serves as a reminder of the critical role that accurate labeling and transparent information play in ensuring consumer safety and well-being. By promptly addressing potential risks and communicating openly with the public, food manufacturers can uphold trust and accountability in the marketplace.
